I meant to get this recipe posted up before Christmas, but it totally slipped my mind and I just realized that I missed my deadline! But, better late than never, right? And, this is such a simple and delicious dessert, I’m sure you’ll want to make it any time of the year. It’s a great dish to take to a potluck or a dinner with friends.
Crustless Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars (grain free)
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
22 ounces pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup coconut sugar
12 drops stevia
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
In a mixer bowl, combine the cream cheese, vanilla, stevia, and coconut sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and pumpkin puree and blend until creamy. Butter a 9×13 glass baking dish and pour the batter into the dish. Bake at 350 for 1 hour, or until there is just a tiny bit of jiggle when the pan is moved back and forth. Also, to help alleviate cracking on the top of the cheesecake, place a bowl of hot water in the oven with the bars. The additional humidity will help keep the top of the cheesecake from cracking (I always forget this step). Let the bars cool before cutting and serving. Top with fresh whipped cream.

Absolutely lovely, Jessica! Anything served with that much cream wins my heart.
Hahaha! Ditto, Jenny! Ditto! I could just make a big bowl of whipped cream and sit down and eat that if I’d let myself!
LOOKS delicious!
Thanks Meagan! I hope you enjoy!
This looks yummy, and I especially like the fact that it is grain-free! Regarding the stevia, can the dry form (eg., “Stevia in the Raw” brand that is sold in the bag) be substituted for the liquid stevia? Also, where can coconut sugar be purchased (or is there a suitable alternative? I live in a small town where an item like coconut sugar is not easily found.
Hi there. Yes, the powdered stevia would be fine. I think that it’s a pretty even conversion between liquid and powder form, but I’m not 100% sure. The coconut sugar that I get is from a local health food store. I have also found it at Asian grocery stores as well. You can order it online. I’d check Amazon.com. I remember they had a pretty decent selection when I looked awhile back. Brown sugar would work fine, as would sucanat or any other dry sugar that you have on hand. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I love these bars. As a matter of fact, I want to whip up a batch this weekend!
